My cat has never mated before. She is two years old and will be 3 on April 14th. Anyway, she goes in heat like once a month or every two months. She has mood swings. What could be wrong with her and what do I need to do?

Nothing is wrong with her. This is normal. She will continue to come into heat until she is either spayed or pregnant. Please get her spayed. She can't control this and it must be very frustrating for her to go thru this all of her life. She doesn't need to have kittens first. My kitties have all been spayed and they live nice happy stressfree lives. There are too many unwanted kittens out there now anyway. You must be doing a good job of keeping her inside or she would have been pregnant by now.

There is nothing wrong with her. Cats can seem to be in heat continuously, or maybe it just seems that way. The only way to get rid of the mood swings and constant heats is to get her fixed. If you need financial assistance, contact an animal rescue association or the humane society for a referral. Altered cats are much better pets.

It is natural and very uncomfortable for a cat to go through that when not spayed. Cats are healthier and happier if they are fixed.
Do you realize that for every 1 person born, there are 7 puppies and kittens
born? At best, 1 will find a forever home.
And don't forget, that every "Free-to-good-home" litter takes homes away
from animals already at the shelter.
STOP letting your pets; or your friends, relatives or co-workers pets
contribute to the problem.
If you love animals, it is NOT ENOUGH to merely say "My pets are fixed".
Vow to educate and enable others to fix their pets too.
Spaying just 1 female dog or cat, will prevent 6 others from ending up in a
shelter the following year.
Please be part of the solution, NOT the problem!
Thank you. ^..^

a woman is going into warmth approximately two times a 12 months. they might bypass a warmth cycle each and every now and then, yet will seldom have one greater one.

You should have her fixed. If a cat calls many times without a pregnancy there are associated health risks. A female cat that has never been bred has a high risk of developing cancer of the reproductive organs or developing pyometra which is a life threatening infection of the uterus.

Yes, if you are not going to breed her, please have her spayed. And there are associations that help with the cost of this operation.
A cat can have 420 kittens in her lifetime and then those same kittens can have the same amount when they are mature. Can you imagine?

Female cats can go into heat every three weeks... this can stress them out so I'd recommend getting her spayed.

i also agree with the others, if you are not planning to breed, you should definetly have her spayed, a female cat in-heat can be quite annoying to live with, also spaying will reduce health risks for her, win win situation. however you can't have it done while she is in-heat.

If you don't plan on breeding from her then get her neutered.
This is normal and will continue untill she gets pregnant, once she has had and weaned kittens it will start again.
